One day you'll realise that the problem with your assertion is that of who gets to define what acting like an asshole is, and why that really shouldn't be left up to the guy with the gun.
Haha yeah, I used to think Heinlein was great when/I/ was thirteen, too! If you want to go kill everyone who's impolite and unapologetic, you'd better have a LOT of ammo. Here's a free hint: shooting someone teaches them nothing. If you want to convert people to your point of view (perhaps being unapologetic about being impolite is a bad thing), work to convince them of it, instead of thinking how much better would the world be if everyone but *me* were dead.
Oh, you're a jerk, and I'm not sorry. You gonna come shoot me now?
As is usual with/., ignore the written-by-illiterate-simians summary and click through to the article/ website (I know, I know) and your concerns will be put to rest. The blog is less about 'code in movies is wrong' and more (and more interestingly) where did the code shown come from? Knowing that Iron Man's suit is powered by code written for a lego brick gives the concept more verisimilitude - at least if you've played been playing Lego Marvel Superheroes as much I as I have recently.
I don't have young children. Why should I be forced to belong to a club to prevent something that's never going to happen in any case? Even if I had kids, why would I not educate them on proper gun safety - that's assuming I would leave my guns accessible, unlocked, and loaded (or with ammunition in easy reach)?
And let's take a look at your figures. Assume roughly 300m guns in the US. 80% of that leaves 60m, and 80% of/that/ leaves 12m guns still in circulation - that's assuming you can convince those 80% to give up their guns willingly, and then that 48m guns would be used in a crime subsequent to the ban. That's a lot of gun crime in those months - crime that would be unopposed because 240m people have willingly ceded their personal defence to their government.
Until "Honey pick up some milk on the way home" becomes code for "the President will be at [X] on [Y]. Ensure asset [A] is in position.". At that point, even those conversations get handed over to Israel for analysis^W^W^W^W^W^Wstored as metadata "just in case".
Not that you're wrong about your final point. It's almost as if Snowden was intentional.
As a synaesthete, I can tell you that the color red makes a triangular sound when spoken by a women, and a conical sound when spoken by a man. I'm not even kidding. If I heard your voice I could tell you the color of its shape by how it tastes.
Given that unborn babies are fed via the mother, that makes little sense - the desired bacteria can simply be provided via the same delivery system as food and other nutrients. Unless you specifically meant rectal/ anal bacteria, in which case carry on.
Presumably you can see there is a world of difference between 'request a single time card' and 'request ALL fingerprints as they hit the server'. One is tracking a suspect; the other is a fishing expedition. I'll leave you to figure out which is which.
A fine sentiment, except many schools in the US have metal detectors. I know, I know "wontsomebodythinkofthechilluns", but before you spout "who cares" you might want to think "just because *I* don't care about or understand aspect X, doesn't mean others don't (or shouldn't)".
If the only thing keeping you from having sex with children is a law stating so, then you're beyond all help as it is. Laws aren't made for the righteous, they're made so that *when a transgressor is caught* there's a system in place to apply punishment.
Snap. Chat. Supposedly a method of instant messaging, but with photos. Yeah, I don't get it either. My (still a teen, but just barely) niece uses it to send me pics of her goofing around with her younger siblings. Beyond that I think whatever appeal there is exists in how simple it is to use. Heard a story on NPR where the kids aren't even using SnapChat for sexting.
There is no need for a healthy firearm black market when the country is flooded.. oh what the hell, you're anonymous so you'll never realise the logical fallacy of your "argument".
I know you'll never see this as you posted anonymously, but it would be rare to meet a responsible (well-regulated) gun owner who is against closing the gunshow background check loophole. I could however imagine many gun *sellers* weeping as all that business goes away...

Go back to your playpen, the adults are talking.
rudely texting
or just possibly NOT rudely doing anything at all, and in fact texting. During. The. Previews.
causing a confrontation
X tells Y to stop doing something. Y tells X thanks but no. Regardless of what happened later, who caused the confrontation?
clears his fucking hands
Really? Really? You really think throwing popcorn at someone is
readying up for physical violence
? You need to get out more. As if the presence of popcorn is going to prevent a punch being thrown.

Please explain how the actions of this employee do either.

Get back to me when 45 years is a long time.
Did you reply with this in order to make yourself look smart? Or are you just starved for attention?

Good luck proving your random text doesn't decrypt to "Kill all America! Durka Durka Allah!" ;)
If the robbery followed the shooting, someone wasn't doing their job.
Yes, but you can't sneak *that* gun past airport "security".

Tis a pity you posted anonymously, since this is about the most insightful comment I've seen on /. in a while.

stuffed? STUFFED??
If it's legal, by definition it cannot be fraud.
